Our Classes

At The Music Nook, we aim for every class to include:

• An exploration of the “Elements of Music” including:

• Beat: the heartbeat of music!

• Rhythm: patterns of long and short sounds - the building blocks of not only music, but also speech/language development

• Pitch: High and low notes

• Dynamics (volume): Louds and softs

• Tempo (speed): Fast and slow

• Tone Colour: The different quality of sound that each voice and instrument makes

• Singing songs and echoing melodies, exploring what our voices can do

• Keeping a beat and echoing rhythms, using instruments and body percussion

• Improvisation

• Playing a range of percussion instruments, both tuned and untuned

• Props and puppets

• Storytelling

• Movement to develop both gross and fine motor skills
